Big government is liberty's greatest threat. Hardly a day goes by that I’m not compelled to reflect on the haunting words of Pastor Martin Niemoeller: “First they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the trade ... MOREJonathan Turley: Free Speech Under Fire
First Amendment gives way to blasphemy and hate speech. The recent exchange between an atheist and a judge in a small courtroom in rural Pennsylvania could have come out of a Dickens novel. Magisterial District Judge Mark Martin was hearing a case in which an irate Muslim stood accused of attacking an atheist, Ernest Perce, because he was wearing a ... MOREBarry Farber: Breitbart's Death Just A Coincidence?

U.S. immigration officials are under standing orders to provide abortion services for detained illegal aliens in some circumstances and hormone therapy to those who say they are transgendered. The orders to do so are included in the “2011 Operations Manual ICE Performance-Based National Detention ... MOREA Privacy Revolution Begins With Tainting The Data
by Adam Dickter. Is this unethical? No more so, I think, than ducking into a cab to avoid a stalker, or closing the blinds on a peeping Tom. Or luring people into a massive social network under the guise of "helping you connect and share with the people in your life" while collecting a complete dossier on you. Comedian Steve Martin once came up with a novel way to fend ... MOREJohn Stossel: Greed, Capitalism And Romney
Who are the REAL bad guys? Now that Mitt Romney is likely to be the Republican nominee, we can expect new attacks on his “vulture capitalism.” That’s how Rick Perry characterized his private equity work when he was still a GOP presidential candidate.
